Some early reviews:
“A great read for anyone who wants to banish those Monday morning blues and is looking for practical ideas to make every day, and every moment, really count. Written in a positive and conversational style, Jo shares her experience on how to create the right mindset to achieve your personal and business goals. There are lots of tools and tips that you can instantly try out for yourself and the book is structured so that it is really easy to dip in and out.
I love Jo’s personable style and felt that she was right there with me, cheering me on as I read the book, speaking to me, encouraging me and supporting me to propel my business to the next level. She had me engaged right from the very start of the book that the tools and approach she has uncovered, can help me to increase sales for my businesses by a factor of 10!” - Maila Reeves, Entrepreneur, Angel Investor, Business Lecturer at Westminster Business School
“What better way to start your week? Monday morning blues is a thing of the past since ‘Make Your Mondays Matter’! The author gives motivation and inspiration in plenty to lighten your load and lift your spirits. Her style of writing is personal, jovial and from the heart which we can all relate to.
... she will not only help you achieve incredible results but also methodically help to turn things around when they’ve gone pear-shaped.
Being a sole business owner can be lonely at times and we all need a boost of motivation so that we never give up on the dream! ‘Make Your Mondays Matter’ certainly provides this and much more.” - Cheryl Carter, Every Home Matters
“Woohoo... In the first 16 pages of ‘Make Your Mondays Matter’ by business coach and author, Jo James, you get a real sense of pace. This lady doesn’t let the grass grow under her feet. If you’re serious about being a creative entrepreneur, growing your business and making money then this is the book for you.
‘Make Your Mondays Matter’ is like having Jo as your coach but most importantly she’s your business cheerleader! By encouraging you to keep going, take action and believe in yourself.
For me, this is a handbook I will refer to again and again. The questions and exercises are challenging enough to make a difference. Jo’s guidance as a coach comes through. Most importantly it is the constant encouragement, the optimistic voice of someone who believes in my success that makes this book a winner.
Highly recommended if you’re a creative entrepreneur ready to make a difference, grow your business and make some money.” - Sharon Simpson, Dark Romantix

5.0 out of 5 stars The closest thing you can get to having a business coach on your shelf.
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseAt first glance you find that almost a third of this book is pretty much blank; made up of four or five repeated empty forms intended for regular exercises as part of the books core week-by-week structure. A cheek! Or so it might seem at first... until you realise that the book is not just a run-of-the-mill business guide. It is a paper-based consultant, mentor and friend that operates as the next best thing to having AmberLife’s Jo James visit you in your office every seven days.
The book is crammed with nlp inspired tips and strategies to help you focus, plan and prioritise. All carefully set out across a year of business practice. Follow each step and it will train you towards excellence. Broken into four sections mapped to the annual quarters of a year the book guides you through Sales, Networking, Emotional intelligence and Consolidation in preparation for future years. It provides insight into good practice for both operational tasks and your well-being; recognising you as the very core of your business.
Its greatest strength is the way it emulates Jo James’ personable, accessible, caring voice. She encourages, champions and cheers you on from the print, offering a weekly companion to your business trials. With tactical deftness Jo James pitches her presence at the titular Mondays when we generally return to the fray. Her’s is the joyful voice we’d love to welcome us back to each week of work.
The only thing this otherwise elegant uncomplicated and easy-to-read book does-not offer is the real time human responsiveness you get from a live coach. Someone able to tailor the precise intervention to your actual needs of a given week, day or hour. Able, for example, to guide you on some of more subtle how-to’s such as how-to really listen.
Nevertheless, it serves as a very credible next best alternative. And judiciously illustrated with a few examples from her decade of practice Make Your Mondays Matter is the closest printed paper can get to being your business' BFF.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended!!
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI loved this book. It is good quality - the pages are just the right gsm and are bright white; the print is easily legible; and the book is well-bound. It has become part of my routine to pull it off the bookshelf every Monday morning. I just spend a few minutes working through a page or two - you don't need to allocate a lot of time every Monday so it's easy to fit into a packed schedule. It's an excellent way of focussing your mind on making the most of the week ahead. The book is well-written and is full of straight-to-the point tips. There is no waffle!! Of all the business books I have (and I've bought many!) this is the only one which sits on the shelf above my desk for regular use.
- Susan MooreReviewed in the United Kingdom on November 16, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant business book
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis is a brilliant book! Of all the business books on my shelf, it’s the one that has resulted in me taking action on an ongoing basis and in a way that’s so enjoyable it doesn’t feel like work.
It covers mindset, sales, networking and organisation and it’s a great business tool to have at hand to keep you on track. Use it either to work through or check back in with whatever issue is most pressing.
It’s written in a down to earth, conversational style and completely demystifies sales strategy using non-salesy tips and strategies.
I recommend Make Your Mondays Matter to you whether you’re an experienced business owner or about to set up your own business.

5.0 out of 5 stars Three books in one....brilliant!
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI love this book! It really is full of practical tips, smart advice and real action steps that will help you grow your business.
It’s set out in a clear, organised way and provides a valuable structure with exercises you can work through to help you stay focused and implement what’s most important.
Plus, it also contains valuable guidance and ideas to help business owners overcome any personal blocks, feel motivated and inspired and pave the way for success.
Three books in one! Brilliant :)
